Show HN: We built cursor for video editing
Hi HN,
We're two final-year college students from India, and we just launched FastCut – an AI tool to help creators, coaches, and marketers quickly edit there short form content (Reels, Shorts, TikToks) to make it more engaging.
The goal is simple:
Let users upload a raw video and get back a polished, engaging short in minutes — without touching a timeline.
FastCut does the following:
Automatically trims silences and filler content
- Adds clean, animated captions using speech-to-text
- Enhances audio
- Pulls in relevant images (via Google Search), stock clips, stickers, and GIFs
- Adds emojis and sound effects to make the video more dynamic
We were frustrated with how much time and effort it took to make short videos look decent — so we built FastCut.
This is our first real SaaS product, and we're still figuring things out. We're aware there’s a lot to improve, both in the product and on the landing page. So:
We’d love your thoughts.
Try breaking it. Tell us what doesn’t work, what feels off, what’s missing, or what you'd expect from a tool like this.

We're here to learn and improve. Thanks for reading!
- nikhilsheoran 1y agoWe built a very early version of FastCut and launched last year, but that failed horribly as the churn was too high and we were not able to figure out PMF. This is our second go at the idea and we are much more confident about the product now.
- Oras 1y agoIt looks very impressive. If I was making videos I would definitely use it. I see some shorts that are already doing something similar (subtitles and memes). Who are your competitors?
